My luck... Received a phone call from the dealer today after i purchased the car the other day telling me that the car has done 170km (105 miles) meaning it has been used as a demo. The dealer says that he can not do any discounts but if i wish he can return the money. My hands are tied because i want this car really bad and being the last one of its kind available doesn't help, its not like i can say i'll order another one cause they don't fabricate them anymore. What do u guys think i should do?

Its new only thing is that its been test driven quite a bit, 105 miles of test driving.
Its not the end of the world- but then you are paying 34k for it-
Get them to throw in some gold plated RS mats & a free service

I'd be f**ked off if I was you mate, its taken away the feeling of getting a car thats just yours. However 105miles isn't really much mileage so the car should be 'as new'. Personally I think I'd fob them off for a little bit of time and get a hold of RUK and complain like f**k at them and see what they come back to you with. If you were promised a new car for that price and then they give you this with no other option or discount thats not only bad service but its also false advertising.
Nope, i just paid them in full and got a receipt.

i wouldn't worry about it personally. but write to renault see if you can get free servicing or something
Most people who arn't on these forums drive the bollox of RS's when they first get them anyway.. theres a lot of disagreement if it actually makes a difference.. buy it and rake the balls outta it. Ask for a first free service as you didn't get you're full 12k miles out of it

I dont think RenaultUK extend their responsibility to Renault dealers in Gibraltar :rasp:
As Fred@BTM said, get them to include a free service then just enjoy.
I don't think that the salesman would have been too happy with the test driver sitting next to him driving like a mad man.
When I test drove one, the dealer encouraged me to thrash the b****cks off the car.
We were doing about 60mph, and he said "drop it into 3rd, put your foot down and dont change gear until I say". Did so, took it up to redline (whilst the engine still cold).
Id still have it, but id definitely want some freebies, as essentially it wouldnt be a brand new car to me as im guessing loads of other people have been in it.
Lol, most people who would of test drove it would more than likely would of pootled about in it. If everyone thrashed it from cold for the whole of the test drive yes it will f**k it up.
Besides it's a clio. It'll go wrong sooner or later.

If they're not budging then a service might be too far but I'd be pushing hard for at least a tank of fuel! Call it a gesture of goodwill - You'll be sure to recommend them to friends.
I hit the limiter in a Clio TCE demonstrator that had 5 miles on the clock. So yeah, thats about right.
The engine will have seen much worse when it was being tested before it got sent to the dealer...
Worry not....!
